Outcome of monitoring

During the monitoring visit, the inspector discussed with you the steps you have taken to address the action raised in the notice to improve. The inspector spoke to you about how you ensure that people whose suitability has not been checked do not have unsupervised contact with the children being cared for. The inspector found that you took immediate action to address the issue raised at your last inspection. Additionally, procedures are in place to evaluate the quality of the practice and the impact this has on the outcomes for children.

Outcome of monitoring

The inspector found that steps to safeguard children have improved. You discussed that you no longer allow people whose suitability has not been checked to have unsupervised access to children. In addition, you provided documentation to confirm that vetting processes have been completed for all members of staff working at your provision. You have maintained a record of staff's criminal record disclosure reference numbers, the date the disclosures were obtained and details of who obtained the checks. As a result, children's safety and well-being is maintained because they are cared for by suitable adults.
